Pros

The prestige of the name. The camaraderie with other coworkers at your level (tends to happen when you’ve seen most of them in tears at least once).

Cons

Terrible pay, terrible morale, terrible technology, terrible workload. Blame is heaped upon lower-level employees as a way for management to carry on in the face of the disastrous demise they know deep-down is completely and totally deserved. “The name” can only take you so far.

Great team supervises your work. You get to learn proper citation standards and write academically. You don't have too tight deadlines and can work from wherever.

I have not identified any negative aspect of being an Oxford Reporter.
